How to Get Paid to Travel + Exact Pitch Templates To Use

RachelTravels.com is running for over three years now and I have the most amazing opportunities to partner and collaborate with amazing brands, including Herschel Supply Company, Amazing Thailand, AC Marriott hotels, and much more, to name a few.

Understand, it takes a lot of hard work, diligence, ignored messages, and consistency to get to a position of working with major brands. So heads up sweetie. If you're not gonna be committed, then growing any success travel brand may not be for you. #truetea.

But I want you to flourish. As a result, I'm going to share with you what I've learned so far while in this travel influencing game.

This is the "how" my friend.

Obviously, there's more to it. But if you truly understand and are very clear about the following, you'll be halfway there to getting paid and/or compensated for traveling:
